on 11/22/2005 Folding a dryer sheet to form a pad and then applying hand lotion to the pad works great. Move it in small circular motions and the marks come out easily. Then wipe the wall lightly with a damp soapy sponge to remove the lotion.

on 11/22/2005 To remove ink marks from a wall apply toothpaste to the marks and wait 30 minutes then wipe clean.
It also helps to wipe in the same direction as the lines.

on 11/22/2005 Out of curiousity, I rubbed the crayon marks with a "Kleenex with Lotion." It was on semi-gloss paint and it worked like magic! I then took a cloth with soapy water and rubbed the spot to get the lotion off.

on 11/22/2005 I used the cheap baby wipes to scrub the walls. It took a little work and the house smelled like a baby. I have also tried a napkin with Joy and hot water. Again it takes some work.

on 11/22/2005 A crayon melted in the dryer and I had crayon on all of our jeans. I sprayed the area with non-stick cooking spray, then covered with newspaper and ironed it. If there was a little spot left, I scrubbed it out with a toothbrush.

on 11/22/2005 There is a crayon remover called Crayon-a-Gone. It's sold in a biodegradable 7-fluid-ounce bottle. Safely removes crayon from painted walls, wallpaper, glass, painted or wood finish, plastic, vinyl, and even leather. Works great!

on 11/22/2005 To remove crayon, use WD-40. You spray it on and wipe it off. It works like a charm. I even used it on my son's chalkboard that he scribbled crayon all over. It took it right off with ZERO elbow grease!

on 11/22/2005 Remove crayon from walls, floors, toys, etc. with WD-40. Spray the area w/WD-40. Scrub a little w/a cloth, then use a cleanser or soapy water and wipe clean. Test a small area first. It also works for removing gum, scuff marks, tape, and old adhesive.
